God says NO

God Said NO!

I asked God to take away my habit.

God said, No.

It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up.

I asked God to make my handicapped child whole.

God said, No.

His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary.

I asked God to grant me patience.

God said, No.Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn't granted, it
is learned.

I asked God to give me happiness.

God said, No.I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked God to spare me pain.

God said, No.Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you
closer to me.

I asked God to make my spirit grow.

God said, No.You must grow on your own, but I will prune you to make you
fruitful.

I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life.

God said, No.

I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I asked God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.

God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.


May God Bless You,
